Visual and aural rhymes

This is a real brain-bender!

Starting from the red word, students draw a line to an aural rhyme (word that sounds the same), then from there to a visual rhyme (word that looks the same), then to an aural rhyme, then to a visual rhyme and so on until they have a chain that links all of the words in each of the three exercises. It’s tough because you have to keep switching the way you think!

As an extension, students can then be asked to come up with some other words that are spelt the same but pronounced differently. Older/more able students can be challenged to make their own alternating aural/visual chain, maybe even with a prize for the student who makes the longest.
